Adyson is 9 years old...YAY!

I took an assignment in Toledo, Iowa after leaving Prairie du Chien.  Kirk and I arrived in Toledo on Thursday and decided to stay at the Outback Campground and Resort in Tama.   Tama and Toledo are like two small towns in one.  They have a Fareway grocery store, so Kirk is excited, as he loves their meat department.  Remember, Kirk loves to grill.  We got all settled in and left the next day for Minnesota to help Ady celebrate her birthday.

Adyson celebrated her birthday in many ways this year.  However, I think this is typical every year for her birthday.  The one Kirk and I attended was for family and close adult friends of hers that have been a part of her life so far.  Kirk and I drove up on Friday and returned home on Sunday.  Chuy and Lily went with us ( Lily loves the girls and misses them).  Kirk, again, was in charge of grilling.  And, as usual did an exceptional job with the burgers, brats, and jalepeno poppers.  We had more than enough to eat and had a great time.  Ben, Bella, and Isaac also stayed at the house, so the weekend was perfect with all the family there.  Although, we did miss Nicki (Ben's wife) as she had another birthday party to attend on her families side.  It was so fun to see the girls and Ady's friends and spend time with everyone. 

 Yummy food for the party....thank you Papa Kirk!
